CINCINNATI —

The father of a 4-year-old child who was struck by a car has been charged in connection with the driver’s death.

Police said Jamie Urton, 44, was shot to death after he accidentally hit a 4-year-old boy who dashed into a Cincinnati street last Friday. Urton stopped, but was attacked by people who saw the boy hit. The witnesses dragged Urton from his car and assaulted him, police said.

A 911 call reveals just how upset the father of the 4-year-old got after his son was hit by a car on Kenton Street.

Caller: You're OK, and I took care of dude. I killed him. He dead. He dead. The dude that hit you by the car, he dead. I killed him. I'm serious. He's dead.

A witness to Urton’s killing said the unarmed victim was begging for mercy as the gunman shot him over and over, even after his body fell limp.

“He didn’t mean to do it. He was bawling his eyes out, saying he was sorry, begging for mercy, basically, and they shot him,” said the witness, who we are not identifying.

"The guy was reaching in the window beating him up in the window and then eventually the door of the car came open and I heard five gunshots," the witness added.

Several witnesses called 911 and described the violent killing in detail.

Caller: They made the people in the silver car get out of the car. One laid on the street and they had him lay on the street on his hands and knees and then the other one on the other side is the one they shot, I think, because that's where I heard the boom, boom, boom, boom.

"After his arms just dropped and there was no life in him anymore, they shot him again," the witness said.
